West Virginia Railroads.


A dIsp.tcli from Parkersburg, dated the
9th, to the Baltimore american, says
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company
is about to build new line in this State
which will be an important connecting
link. 1t begins at Grafton, the eastern
terminus of the Parkersburg branch OF the
Baltimore and Ohio, and passes through
the counties of Taylor, Harrison, Lewis
Upshur, Braxton, Nicholas, Fayette and
Kanawha, terminating at Charleston, or
the Chesapeake and Ohio. In this way al
outlet will be furnished to several OF the
mineral counties, both east aud west.
There will then be direct route from
Baltimore to Charleston, and new route
to Cincinnati and the West.
The Pennsylvania Company is also get
ting several strong footholds in this State
They have the Ohio River Road from
Wheeling to Point Pleasant. which will
be completed to Huntington this summer.
A new line is to be built as feeder to the
Ohio River Road, which will begin at
Rayenswood. a few miles below here, and
extend through Jackson. Writ and Roane
counties to Spencer. The Pittsburg, Vir-
ginia and Chaa lesion Road is to be consin-
ued from Morgantown to Charestown.
This new line will follow the Mononga-
hela to Paramount. where it strikes The
Baltimore and Ohio. and from thence to
Clarksburg. After that the Weston ard
Clarksburg Narrow Gauge IS to be
widened, and the road built on through
Gilmer, Calhoun and Roane counties to
Snepcer. the terminus of the short feeder
to the Ohio River road, and from thence
by direct line to Charleston.

The WeRR's Secret.
I-knew it all my boyhood; in a lonesome vale,
meadow.

I-knew it all my boyhood; in q Lonesome vale
| meadow,
| Ikea dryad's mirror hidden by tho wool
dim arches near;
Its eye flashed back the sunshine and gre"
dark and sad with shadow,
| And l loved it's truthful depths. where every
pebble lay SO clear
I scooped my hand and drank it, and watche
the.sensate CULVER
Ofthe ripping rings of silver, as the drops Of
crystal fell,
pressed the richer grpsshs from it's little trick
ling river
TIL at last knew, as friends know, every
secret of the wall.
But one day stood beside it, on a sud den. I'm :
expected,
When the sun had crossed the valley nd a
sha dow hid the place.
And looked in the dark waters, saw my pal
lid cheek reflected
And beside it looking pward, met an evil.
reptile face, gsS
Looking upward furtive, startled at the silent,
! swift intrusion;
Then it darted toward the grasses, and saw
not where it fed;
time sweet illusion
OF the pure and perfect SYM boil had cher
ished there was dead.
o, the pain to know the perjury of seeming
truth that blesses!
My SOIL was scared like sin to see the false
hood of the place
And the innocence that Knocked me- while in
dim. unseen recesses
There were lurking fouler secrets than the
furtive reptile face.
And since then-ah why the burden? when
joyous faces greet me-,
With eyes of limpid innocence AM words da-
void of art,
l cannot trust their seeming, but must ask
what eyes would meet me
Could look in sudden silence at TIL secrets
of the heart.

West Virginia Lagislatura.

Gov. Wilson, of West Virginia, has is
sued his proclamation ccEvening the Leg
islature of West Virginia in extra session
on the 3rd Monday in April, to consider
and act on the following subjects of legis
lation
70 make appropriations Of public money
TO pay general charges upon the Treasury;
to make appropriations to pay members OF
the Legislature and salaries of officers of
the government to protect the public
treasury against unnecessary expenditures
by regulating costs, charges and proceed,
ings in criminal cases before Justices and
Circuit Courts to provide for and limit
allowances for maintenance OF lunatics in
Jail to provide for and secure such relief
to people of this State as may be had from.
the ''ac5 recently passed by Congress, en-
titled an act TO regulate commerce - to
prohibit railroad companies from CARRYING
and conveying pubic officers or delegates
to political conventions over their roads
free OF charge, OF at less charge than usual
rate for other persons, and to abolish abSo
lutely the free pass system; to prohibit the
use OF money and all other improper means
to secure nominations by political parties
or election to public Office to provide for
acceptance and confirmation of reports OF
Joint Boundary Commission on boundary
between this State and PENNSYLVANIA to
provide for establishing the boundary line
between this State and Maryland and be-
tween this State and Virginia. The Gov
ernor does not refer to the election of
u. 5. Senator, bal it is believed that there
will be an election. as the work called for
cannot be accomplished before the second
Tuesday after meeting. The extra session
promises to be an interesting one. Senator
Kenna arrived home from Washington to-
day and says there is no doubt but that |
the Legislature will have to elect Sena-
tor at its special session, Notwithstanding
Gov. Wilson thinks otherwise.
There is q significance in some of these !
subjects, especially those of q political ma
ture. The Governor intends to check
mate the coal oil ring if possible by the
power Of law, and endeayor to purify the
politics Of the Mountain State from the
stain Of corrupting influences.

MAXEY'S, GA. January, 1885.
For twelve or fourteen years have been q
great sufferer from terrible form of blood pois-

repulsive that for three years absolutely re-
fused to let people see me. used large quaint
ties of cost noted blood remedies and applied
to nearly all physicians near me, but my con-
dition continued to grow worse, and all said
that must surely die. My bones be came the
seat OF eXcrutiating aches and pains my nights
were passed in misery 1 was reduced In flesh
and strength; my kidneys were terribly de-
ranged, and life became a burden to me.
Glanced to see an advertisement Of B. B, B.
and sent one dollar to w. c. Birchmore g. Co..
merchants of our place. and they procured one
bottle for me. 1t was used with decided benefit,
and when eight or ten bottles had been used
was pronounced sound and we'll.
Hundreds of scars can now be seen on me.
looking like man who had been burned and
then restored. My case was we'll known in this
county, and for the benefit of others who may
be similarly affected, think it my duty to give
the facts to the public. and to extend my
my heartfelt thanks for so valuable remedy

carries a charge of over eight hundred
pounds of high explosives, either dynamite

in cylindrical body, tapered off cigar like

which take the place of propeller blades,
